Chapter 42: The Ancient Sea Fair!
The next day, when Xiao Chen went out for activities, he met an acquaintance on the side of the road.
Or rather, the other party has been waiting for him all along.
"Second Master Cao, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Cao Zhenhua.
Cao Zhenhua said respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, the villain has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
"Zhao Wolf told you?" Xiao Chen asked.
Last time, I told Zhao Wolf that I couldn't go to his apartment to find him without his permission.
Cao Zhenhua obviously knew this rule, so he knew his place very well, but he was still waiting here.
"Say, what's the matter with being so anxious to find me?"
Cao Zhenhua hurriedly said: "The villain heard from Boss Peng, sir, you need that kind of rare herb that is high in age, and you also need spirit jade and antiques?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Cao Zhenhua and said with a smile: "You have these things?"
"Villains don't often collect these things, but there is a large trade fair in Guhai City these days, and there is a chance to appear in Lingyu antiques, rare medicinal herbs, immortal curiosities, and so on. If you are interested, please come with me and have a look. ”
"Furumi City?"
"Yes, at the junction of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Of course, nominally it still belongs to Jiangnan Province. ”
Xiao Chen groaned, "How long will the trade last?"
"The trade fair started last night and was supposed to last three days, and we passed it today, and there are two more days. ”
"Wait, I'll make a call first!"
Xiao Chen walked to the side and dialed Xiao Yufei's phone.
Xiao Yufei was on a business trip, and seemed to be sleeping in the hotel at the moment, and asked in a lazy voice, "Xiaochen, what's the matter with the call?"
"When are you coming back?"
"I'll probably go back in the evening, the work here is over. ”
"Well, I'm going out for two or three days!"
"Where are you going?"
"Guhai City!"
"What are you doing in Guhai City?" Xiao Yufei was surprised.
"Something!" Xiao Chen replied with two words.
Xiao Yufei rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Then you take care of yourself, take your mobile phone with you, I may call you at any time." ”
"Okay, hang up!"
Xiao Chen hung up the phone and returned to Cao Zhenhua's side.
"Mr. ......"
"Let's go!"
"Okay, get in the car!"
Cao Zhenhua invited Xiao Chen into the car, and his heart was excited.
Two days ago, he saw Peng Chao give Xiao Chen a cardboard box, and he specially inquired about Peng Chao afterwards and learned that Xiao Chen wanted to collect things like spiritual jade and herbs.
It just so happened that there was a large-scale trade fair in Guhai City these days, which was very lively, so he wanted to try to invite Xiao Chen, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen to really agree.
Xiao Chen is an innate grandmaster, if he can win over Xiao Chen, he Cao Zhenhua is bound to soar into the sky, even if the Southern Boxing Club has to look at his face and act.
......
Half a day later, the two arrived in Guhai City.
Cao Zhenhua flattered: "Sir, few people come out during the day, and the fair is lively at night, why don't I take you to Shi's house to sit first?"
"Historian?" Xiao Chen asked suspiciously, "What historian?"
"The Shi family is the leading family in Guhai City, and the president and young president of the Nanquan Club are the people of the Shi family, so it is not impossible to classify the Nanquan Club as a historian. ”
"Oh, I remember you said last time that your Cao family is going to marry the young president of the Nanquan Society, that is, to marry the Shi family, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mentioned to you last time, my niece and the young president. ”
Xiao Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Second Master Cao, you tricked me into Guhai City, and its real purpose is not a trade fair, right?"
When Cao Zhenhua heard this, he was a little frightened and said: "Mr. Mingcha, the villain didn't mean to deceive you!"
"Okay, just kidding. Whether you are selfish or not, I am really interested in this fair. ”
Xiao Chen thought for a while, and then asked:
"You want me to attend your niece's wedding?"
Cao Zhenhua said embarrassedly: "I want to ask Mr. to be the officiant." ”
The Cao family originally wanted to enhance their influence by marrying the Shi family, and if they could invite another congenital grandmaster to preside over the marriage, it would undoubtedly be even more beautiful, and even famous in Lanning and Guhai.
"There's no need for the main marriage, I'm not that interested, but since I'm here, it's okay to join in the fun. ”
Cao Zhenhua was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Mr. for appreciating the light!"
"When is the wedding?"
"Two days later, exactly the day the fair ended. ”
"It's a coincidence!" Xiao Chen smiled.
I have to say that Cao Zhenhua is very shrewd, if he directly invites Xiao Chen to attend the wedding, he will inevitably refuse with Xiao Chen's character.
But now that he is in Guhai City, it makes sense to stop by to join in the fun.
"I'll go to Shi's house when the fair is over, and find a hotel to stay in for the time being." ”
Xiao Chen knew that if he went to the Shi family now, most of the people would flatter him and make trouble purely for himself.
"Okay, everything is under the orders of the gentleman!"
After receiving Xiao Chen's affirmative answer, Cao Zhenhua was already satisfied.
He thought about the wedding two days later, and he invited Xiao Chen, a young man, to the VIP seat, and the envious and flattering eyes of the major families made his heart a little fluttering.
Peng Chao, Zhao Biao, and Miao Qingfeng all had to be invited over, because they knew Xiao Chen's identity, and they could also have the effect of building momentum.
Cao Zhenhua did it himself, served Xiao Chen, and arranged all the food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But when it was almost evening, Cao Zhenhua received a phone call and seemed a little anxious.
"Sir, something is wrong with my niece, I have to go back, you see......"
Xiao Chen said: "You go back, I'll just attend the trade fair alone, and when the trade fair is over, I'll go to the wedding site by myself." ”
"Thank you sir for your understanding!"
Cao Zhenhua said, handed Xiao Chen some things, and left in a hurry.
Xiao Chen rested in the hotel for a while, and waited until night fell before leaving for the trade fair location.
In fact, the fair is not large, at most medium-sized, but it is also very lively, and it is almost all crowded from the south square to the north square.
Xiao Chen shuttled through the crowd, occasionally going to roadside stalls to take a look, but it was difficult to look at it.
"Little brother, come and take a look at my peerless sword, indestructible, sharpening iron like clay!"
A man pulls Xiao Chen to sell.
Xiao Chen was skeptical: "Is it true?"
"Of course really, if you don't believe it, you can try it. ”
"Okay, then you pull out and cut me a sword to try!" Xiao Chen pointed to his chest seriously, "Cut from here!"
The man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly his face turned cold, "Go, go, crazy, hinder me from doing business!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his fingers imperceptibly popped out a burst of energy.
Airplanes!
The sword in the man's hand trembled suddenly, but because the sword had a scabbard, he didn't see anything unusual.
"What's going on?"
The man was suspicious, and firmly grasped the sword in his hand, of course he didn't have the ability to see that Xiao Chen was playing tricks.
"Your sword, it's worth a hundred at most, take it!"
Xiao Chen threw a hundred yuan on the stall, and then turned to leave.
The man was stunned again for a long time, he felt that his mind couldn't keep up with Xiao Chen's jumping behavior at all.
He still has points in his heart about what quality this sword belongs to, although it must be more than a hundred, but it really doesn't have much value.
But Xiao Chen threw down a hundred yuan and didn't want his sword, what did he mean?
"Hehe, it seems that when you meet a fool, you can throw away the money casually!"
The man smiled, if you don't take this hundred yuan for nothing, you finally have some harvest tonight.
At this time, two young people came to inquire in a group.
"Boss, is this sword sold?"
"Sell, of course sell!"
The young man said: "Isn't it a good sword, pull it out and we'll see?"
"No problem!"
The man agreed, drawing his ancient sword.
However, the next moment, he looked at the broken sword that was only half cut out and was directly dumbfounded.
"Damn, take a broken sword to fool us, looking for a fight?"
The two young men left angrily.
"This, this, this...... What's going on, how did the sword break?"
The man looked confused, not knowing why.
